SUMMARY:Elements of Art Studio Tour - Weekend 2
DESCRIPTION:Open Studio Art Tour Featuring Local Artists – Come see where the MAGIC HAPPENS \nThe Elements of Art Studio Tour is getting ready to kick off for the 2025 season featuring local artists. This local creative partnership between Dragon Art Studio and BeauxArts Fine Art Materials has brought forth a creative cultural and economic opportunity for all types of creatives at all levels of skill.  \nThe self guided Open Studio Tour takes place over two weeks in September (9/6-7 and 9/20-21 from noon to 4pm) to provide people ample opportunities to experience multiple locations. \nParticipants of the tour get a look into how and where the artist creates – where the magic happens!  This experience provides tour participants a fun and fresh look at their favorite local artists and chances to discover new artists and their work. Tour participants will be able to get their passports stamped for chances to win prizes and art.  For those patrons interested in visiting the tour locations\, passes can be purchased at ElementsOfArtStudioTour.com. \nArtists will also be showcased all year in our artist directory and website allowing patrons to connect after the show for commission work and further purchases. This will also help artists to build their audience.  \nPatrons of the arts (and fellow artists) have an opportunity to sponsor an artist on the tour.  Many of the artists in our area lost business and profits during the covid pandemic\, or have had trouble getting their businesses off the ground. Our directory of artists and the studio tour is one way we hope to bring business and collaboration to local artists. We are striving to keep costs low\, but donations will go towards paying artists fees into this event and towards the publishing and running of the artist registry\, website\, and programming for artists. You can also help by buying art when you are on the tour and later from our talented artists! \nContact The Elements of Art at ElementsOfArtStudioTour@gmail.com  (Kassy Keppol of Dragon Art Studio & Jo Beaudreau of BeauxArts Fine Art Materials) or visit the website\, ElementsOfArtStudioTour.com\, for more information.

SUMMARY:Elements of Art Studio Tour - Weekend 1
DESCRIPTION:Open Studio Art Tour Featuring Local Artists – Come see where the MAGIC HAPPENS \nThe Elements of Art Studio Tour is getting ready to kick off for the 2025 season featuring local artists.

SUMMARY:Co-Working Over Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Co-working over Coffee at the Market & Deli at Driftwood Shores Market where local entrepreneurs have the opportunity to have some in-person face time\, to come ask questions\, get help on a work project\, or move their businesses forward. Think of this time as additional “office hours” you can drop in on to ask some questions\, or go over your “homework” for what you are working on for your business. \nNeed some time to devote to getting a project done for your business? Want others to be present to help hold you accountable? This is the time for that! \nWhether you’re just starting out or looking to scale\, this is your opportunity to collaborate and grow in a supportive community. Let’s brew success together! \nWe’ve been having some great discussions and hashing out various concerns in this smaller group setting that can be a little more focused than larger events! If you need some other perspectives on something\, or you need to work on a particular “to-do” item\, come on down and join us! \nRSVP and if it makes sense\, drop your question in the discussion area\, or send an email. This will be helpful if research will need to be done ahead of time and to get a rough headcount to determine if space needs to be reserved. \nFor any questions or to schedule a 1:1 meeting about your business\, please reach out to your local Entrepreneur in Community\, Jade Rehder\, at Jade@RAINCatalyst.org or our Lane County Venture Catalyst\, Brian Brown\, at brian@raincatalysts.org
